out of sheer curiosity (boost please)

would you consider watching a stream where the streamer doesn't talk and plays games or draws (maybe with some music in background)

i was thinking of streaming outside [my friend group on discord] but i feel it would have an attendance of 0 because i feel like talking is a big part of a stream. and it's not viable to me for several reasons, voice dysphoria among some of them

@ovvie I used to watch a streamer who was mute, and she had some kind of setup where she was able to type things that would display in her stream as she typed them. she also streamed VR games and was able to be really expressive just with her movements. text-to-speech is another possibility! I’m not sure if these help but I hope so

@kasdeya i'm not sure how viable that would be to me. maybe if i find a tool that fits my flow; also the vr part is irrelevant as i don't have the kit nor is that really my thing (only vr game i enjoyed was cooking simulator vr)

@kasdeya @ovvie was this a_lilian? or am i just obsessed over that channel

@aperture @ovvie nope it was someone else! unfortunately they disappeared from the internet a year or so ago, but they were really cute and had kind of a quirky, chaotic, {Windows 95 except pastel pink and colorful} vibe to their streams hehe

@kasdeya @ovvie bummer,, glad you got a chance to enjoy it while it lasted though that’s really cool
